Chapter 105 [The Lost Staircase]



Gu Xinghe took out several bottles of his own concocted gourd poison from the mirror space.

After opening them one by one, I held them in my hand and then hurled them hard at the centipede's body.

The concentrated sulfuric acid corrosion method is precisely the most suitable method for this situation.

Compared to the enormous size of the centipede spider, the size of the potion that Gu Xinghe threw out seemed rather insignificant.

Even after the medicine was no longer in Gu Xinghe's hands.

As it got closer to the centipede, the contrast between the large and small became more and more obvious.

The transparent glass test tube containing the medicine touched the centipede's cephalothorax, which looked like it was covered with a layer of shiny black armor.

"Crack—bang—"

The fragile test tube shattered instantly upon impact, like a glass ice flower blooming in the air.

The grayish-black liquid dripped slowly at first, then flowed and seeped into the centipede's body in large swaths.

The same black liquid flowing down the spider's body didn't seem to be very noticeable.

Even when subjected to an attack powerful enough to cause all living beings to scream in unbearable agony, it was still able to withstand it.

The centipede in front of them still showed no sign of responding or retaliating.

It tirelessly and methodically continues to weave the spider silk it produces from its belly using its numerous legs.

It was as if I was completely immersed in a deep dream world.

From then on, even if it dies in the real world, nothing external can wake it up.

It was as if even its true form had already arrived in the dream world.

Grayish-white smoke rose from the parts of the centipede spider that had been contaminated with the venom.

There was no spectacular clash of lights and sound, nor the sharp, agonizing screams of a spider wounded.

At this moment, the space was extremely quiet.

The centipede, whose body was being corroded by the poison without making a sound, seemed even more eerie.

Gu Xinghe simply watched the scene unfold before him in silence.

At this moment, the only sounds in the space were the extremely faint sounds of spider limbs breaking and melting as they were corroded and burned by the venom.

In Gu Xinghe's eyes, the centipede in front of him was like a jigsaw puzzle with many missing pieces.

Moreover, the puzzle is still disappearing at an extremely rapid pace.

The venom burned the entire body of the centipede spider, leaving it extremely uneven.

Compared to the bloody carnage Gu Xinghe witnessed when he and Carol were feeding fish on the bridge, seeing the fish in the pond devouring their own kind.

The current situation also appears to be that the drug is "eating" the spider's body.

But it looks more like the body is disappearing into thin air.

However, it did not actually disappear into thin air, but rather it was the effect of the high temperature and corrosion brought about by the medicine.

The liquid did not ignite flames on the centipede's body; it only silently and slowly eroded its flesh.

As the erosion progressed, the giant body of the centipede spider gradually turned into black charcoal powder.

“Pah—”

More and more black granular powder fell from the spider's body and landed on the ground.

The large amount of black powder that appears after being burned and corroded is like tiny floating particles in the air.

It also resembles the black "ashes" left behind after a centipede has been corroded and devoured by the drug.

At this point, the remaining severed limbs were increasingly unable to support the spider's enormous size.

With a loud "bang!"

The centipede's entire body was dismembered and scattered throughout the space, like a black snowfall.

Seeing this, Gu Xinghe half-squatted down and picked up a handful of black powder from the ground.

With just a rub of his fingers, the black powder that had formed clumps slid off his fingertips.

At this moment, the distinct black particles in his hand had clearly lost their corrosive effect.

When it was in Gu Xinghe's hands, one could only feel the lingering warmth after it had been burned, not the scorching heat.

Seeing this, Gu Xinghe took out several boxes from the mirror space and collected almost all the black powder on the ground.

Regardless of whether it will be useful later, having the warehouse (mirror space) full always gives people a sense of security.

However, after eroding the centipede into powder.

Gu Xinghe discovered that the corrosive effect of the medicine in front of him had not stopped, but was continuing to erode the entire space.

He suddenly realized that the entire space might be part of the centipede's body.

At this moment, the air temperature in the space became increasingly scorching, as if it wanted to burn away every last bit of air in the space.

The centipede, which never put up any resistance in reality until its death.

The corrosive burning that spread throughout the entire space made it look extremely eerie.

The space that originally contained dozens of giant white cocoons has now become empty.

The ground where the giant cocoon once stood now only bears a patch of black charred marks.

The space, marked with charred black traces everywhere, seemed to be gradually developing more and more cracks.

Just as this space was about to collapse, Gu Xinghe was "pushed" out of this world.

Seeing himself standing on the same step he had stepped on before, Gu Xinghe walked back and forth on it several more times.

This time, however, no strange occurrences were triggered.

The space, covered with black burn marks, seemed to become increasingly precarious after Gu Xinghe left.

But from the black ashes on the ground, a small gray-black spider slowly crawled out.

In this scorched, blackened space, it used spider silk to reconnect and glue together the various parts that were about to collapse.

Then, it once again wove a white, supple spider web, sinking into an endless cycle of nightmares.

[The Lost Staircase of the Seven Mysteries has been discovered]

Side quest completed (3/7)

Hearing the familiar electronic mechanical voice in his ear, Gu Xinghe finally relaxed.

However, he had no intention of going to the music classroom to join the group and continue his lessons.

He simply turned around and walked out of the stairwell, looking at the scenery of the campus in the distance.

The school atmosphere, which had seemed terrifying and dangerous before, now gave him a sense of security.

Gu Xinghe crunched the candy in his mouth, trying to recover from the fatigue he felt after waking up from the dream.

Leaning against the railing in the corridor of the teaching building, he drank the medicine in his hand and comfortably chose to skip class to enjoy the scenery on campus.

Looking at it now, it does have a certain leisurely feel to it, like drinking alone when there's nothing else to do.
